Information services provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, has announced that British Columbia's Divisions of Family Practice has selected UpToDate as its evidence-based clinical decision support system. By integrating UpToDate into its member portal, the organisation's 4,000 practitioners can access the latest evidence-based information at the point of care and accrue Main-Pro CMS credits for each search performed.
Divisions of Family Practice is a community-based group of family physicians working together to achieve common healthcare goals. The initiative supports 32 non-profit agencies, including most family practices in British Columbia, encompassing 127 communities. The Divisions of Family Practice is focused on improving patient care, increasing family physicians' influence on healthcare delivery and policy, and providing professional satisfaction for physicians.
UpToDate is an evidence-based, physician-authored clinical knowledge system which clinicians trust to make the right point-of-care decisions. UpToDate's more than 5,100 world-renowned physician authors, editors and peer reviewers use a rigorous editorial process to synthesise the most recent medical information into trusted, evidence-based recommendations that are proven to improve patient care and quality.
